Clearly folks believe that I should share the wealth with Wifey. Alright. But I’m really hoping that the voters for option #3 (replace pants, buy practical clogs and share with Wifey) pull off a win in the end. I’d really like new clogs …

Crafty crafty weekend. Hooray. First of all, I spent some serious QT with Roo this morning while the kids ran around, trashed her house, made a huge pile of fleece and jumped from the bottom step onto the pile. They laughed hysterically for about an hour and we happily knit on the couch. Meanwhile … her hubby, a most excellent kind-hearted, music-playing, quilt-making, army guy (I know, I know … he defies all stereotypes, which is a big part of why I adore him), asked me to teach him to knit. Roo scrounged up some fat needles and some pumpkin Wool Ease, and I taught him to knit!! We started out with English, but after about 10 rows, I realized that I should teach him Continental. He did really well. Was a total natural. By the way John, if you run into trouble, this is a great source for knitting videos: Knitting Help.

My big goal for the weekend is to wave my wand over this random stuff:

and turn it into Little Man’s costume (sans crown):

Wish me luck!
